Dog Photography in Germany!

Sunday, May 12th, 2013

Oh yes, that’s right… in case you didn’t hear the news on the Facebook page, I spent the last two and a half weeks in Europe! Mostly in Germany, but my husband & I travelled all over: Cologne, Paris, Lake Como, Munich, Hallstatt (Austria) & Prague! It was an INCREDIBLE trip, and you can definitely expect a blog post soon with a bit of travel photography!

For now, though, you’ll have to be content with photos of the tiny town of Kummersbruck, Germany… and the dogs I met there!! :) Sergei, Brenna & Cher are rescued Irish greyhounds, and they live with their parents in a cute (but seriously tiny) village. They often take their evening walk with three local German kids, too! Everyone came out for our session and we wandered around the countryside and their usual walking route. Both my husband Ken & I had an absolutely fabulous time meeting and spending time with all of them! There’s so much I could tell you… but I know you want to see the photos! :)

First, let me introduce you to Brenna. She’s happy to be a lazy greyhound most of the time, but she saved a great little spurt of energy for our session!

And this is Cher, a blue greyhound. She loved being out in the open! Isn’t she pretty?

What gorgeous girls.

This big man is Sergei. His parents joke that he’s a mixed breed: part cow! He has SO much personality!

Here are all three dogs with their German “siblings”, Constanze, Friederike & Lenni. It was right about this time that Constanze noticed a HUGE rain cloud coming our way… so we hustled back home & out of the storm!

Words like “fun” and “enjoyable” don’t even BEGIN to describe what an absolute ball we had with our new friends in the little town of Kummersbruck… thank you all, for an unforgettable experience. I’ll talk to you soon, I hope!

 

Destination Pet Photography: Two Dogs at beautiful Lake Martin, Alabama

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013

I know I JUST made a blog post about how much I love working with repeat clients… but it looks like I get to be repetitive this week! (Yay! haha!)

I first met Lola and Sprockett (“Poodle Perfection”) almost two years ago, but unfortunately, Sprockett could not join us for any further sessions. He passed away a few months later, and his mom Deb was (understandably) crushed. He was a GREAT dog and is still sorely missed.

But the new addition to the family wasted no time making himself at home! Barkley is a miniature poodle (just like Sprockett was) and has a BIG attitude! He helps Lola develop trust in other people, and while her unfortunate upbringing will never let her become close with anyone except her mom, she loves having Barkley around. In return, she eats whatever food he leaves unguarded. (ha!)

Deb, their mom, has told me about her condo on Lake Martin in Alabama several times… so I was THRILLED when she decided to have a session there!! She LOVES her condo (and I can see why), and I think it makes perfect sense to have portraits in a place with such great sentimental value. I loved the concept almost as much as I loved actually being there… it was GORGEOUS! I’ll make a blog post with a few sunrise/sunset images soon, but with no further ado, session photos!

 

This is Lola and Barkley.

Could we possibly have had more perfect weather? Nope! Despite a cloudy morning, the sun came out to play!

Deb – I can’t thank you enough for such an enjoyable opportunity. You know I loved spending time with you & your pups… now if we could just do something about that wolverine… :)
